Assessment of students' co-curricular experience is a priority of the Division of Student Affairs at Marquette and is one of the five goals outlined in our Strategic Plan. There are several purposes for the robust system of assessment that Student Affairs has put in place:

to collect and report data about students, their success, and their needs/interests

to measure the effectiveness of Student Affairs programs and interventions in meeting our intended outcomes for student learning and growth, and

to determine student satisfaction with their Marquette experience and their interactions with our departments and programs.

This site contains a wealth of information about students, their experiences, and the assessment process. Visit the following areas of the site for more information:

A collection of posters on student experiences (available for on-campus users only).

The assessment efforts in the Division of Student Affairs are conducted in concert with a variety of campus departments and initiatives. Useful links to other university assessment resources include:

Assessment at Marquette – an overview of student learning assessment at the university, including assessment plans and reports for all academic programs and most co-curricular departments

Office of Institutional Research and Analysis – a central repository for varied institutional data and reporting, including demographic profiles, retention and graduation rates, student survey response tables, and Common Data Set information

82% of the Marquette students utilize the recreational sports facilities, programs and services and 45% utilize the facilities three or more times a week.
